America kept looking at his reflection. He was confused. But as he's trying to fathom what's going on. He hears his phone making a Buzzing sound.
America grabbed his phone which was vibrating on the sink. He picked it up and looked at it. Japan was calling him. He quickly answered.
"What is it?" He said more tiredly then he meant it to be. He didn't even notice that he was tried. Weird.
Japan responded in her usual happy tone.
"Hey! I wanted to know if you wanna maybe go to the park?"
America didn't really What to leave but he wanted to see japan. He hadn't seen her in a long time.

"Sure" America said, almost like a robot but not quite.
"Thanks! See you there at 6:30!" She said happily and then hanged up.
America looked at the time and it was 5:54, he had about 35 minutes to get ready.
He got his clothes on and put on his blue and red hoodie. It started blue and it ended in red. He picked up his sunglasses and put them on to cover his weird eyes.
America would look at his phone check the time.
'6:10' was flashing on the screen.
He had 20 minutes to get there which was about the time it would take to drive to the park.
America picked up his car keys, got in his car and started it up.

After 17 minutes he was at the parking lot of the park. America opened the door and started walking to the park and waited for japan. After 1 minute he sow japan walking to him. America waved to her. Japan waved back with a smile. Japan was carrying a box with a bow in her arms. She got to him and started talking.
"Hey America-San! How are you?" America would put on a smile. Was it real? America himself didn't even know. "Good." He replied. 'Why do I feel so empty?..' he thought. Then he remembered that japan was carrying something. "What's in the box?" Japan's smile grew even brighter. "It's a surprise America-San!" She said handing him the box. "Open it." She said with a cute smile. "Okay" America said. America opened the box and it had some sushi in it. He always loved Japan's cooking, especially her sushi. 'So why don't I feel anything?' "Thanks, Japan" Japan seemed to notice the lack of emotion in his voice. "Are You alright America-San?" Japan said worryingly.
America put on a smile. "Yeah of course I am" America said trying to sound alive. "If you say so America-San" japan said reluctantly.

America took out one the sushi with the chop sticks (that was also inside the box) and took a bite. It tasted good, like always.
"Thanks again japan. I love it" he said with a fake smile. Japan smiled back. "No problem America-San!" She said with her usual cheerful voice. America ate the rest of that one sushi and closed the box. "I'll eat the rest later" America said. Japan nodded. The two start talking

(America's POV)
Me and japan were talking about food and basically how we been. I try to seem like my normal self. I'm still confused about how everything seems So 'colorless', is that the right word? It seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. What is going on?
After about 3 hour of talking and chatting. she waved good bye and told me to have a good day. I went back home and placed the box on the coffee table. sat on the couch I took out my phone and googled 'why do I have black eyes?'. All the came up was 'treatments' for black eye and black bags under eyes. Not at all what I have. Which what I expected but it was worth a try. I turned off my phone and placed it on the couch. I got up to get a drink of water, apparently I sat up to fast because the started spinning around me. I had to grab the coffee table to keep myself from falling over. After what felt like hours It stoped, not faded just stoped.

I started walking to my kitchen and got a cup and filled it with tap water. I took a sip. I couldn't shake the feeling of something missing, something important, but I can't tell what it is. Its definitely is the reason my eyes are black, I only started feeling this numbness after they turned black. Should I tell Someone? Who would I tell?
I look down I've drank all the water in my cup. I don't feel like doing anything. I look at the clock it says 8:00 am. It's been that long? It's a bit early for me to go to sleep but I feel oddly tried. So I'll guess I'll go to sleep.

I walk to my room and change into my pjs and go to sleep.
